I can't believe Andrew is 4 years old. My how time is flying by. It seems like just yesterday we were playing peek-a-boo with him and helping him learn how to walk.
This year we had a home birthday party with family members and a couple of Andrew's closest friends. The morning of his party Andrew and Robert went out to pick up the cake and balloons while I stayed home to put the decorations up and set up the dining room table with all of the plates and decorations and party hats. It was hilarious when Andrew and Robert got home from the store. Andrew came running into the house since he couldn't wait for Mommy to see his birthday cake. When he came dashing into the dining room to find me he stopped dead in his tracks and saw all of the decorations and started screaming with delight. I certainly didn't expect that reaction from him. He was hilarious how excited he was to see the house decorated for his special day. Too funny! He even gave me a hug and told me I was the best Mom ever.
All of the kids had a ball with the different games we played and it was especially fun for everyone to see how many hits it took before the pinata finally broke. It was starting to get a little scary to see how hard the people were swinging that bat in our living room. I'm really surprised to see my father-in-law sit on the couch through it all being so close to the action. He certainly got a front row view. Robert finally had to finish breaking the pinata open to end the game just so no one would get hurt. The kids were funny to watch as they went after the candy. I got a kick out of our neice Julia when she was picking up the candy. She wouldn't put any candy in her bag, instead each piece went directly into her mouth.
All in all Andrew's birthday party was fun and everyone had a good time. After everyone left we had dinner and then we got Andrew into pajamas early since he didn't have a nap that day. It was funny to see that he still HAD to wear his party hat even though the party was over and he was lying on the couch next to us. When he fell asleep I gently took the party hat off of his head and a few minutes later he woke up and immediately realized he was missing his hat and insisted that he have his hat back only to fall asleep with it again.
